Introduction

Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music–attributed to Frederik Nietzsche (probably derived from Anne Louise Germaine de Stael)

What if the true purpose of life isn’t just to exist, but to heal, and to evolve—to rediscover ourselves beyond the wounds we have incurred, the roles we have played, the memories we still cling to, and the fears that have bound us?

As an electrician I first began to explore the mystical links between the circuits we create and install and the vast cosmic network we belong to. These discoveries became a steppingstone toward enlightenment, but as a retired person I had to venture deeper into the unknown to truly “slip the surly bonds of Earth.” By moving beyond the mindset of an electrician, I started to reach the infinite edges of cosmic awareness.

The following 42 chapters are my account of what I have discovered so far.

In this book I explore new ways to perceive the universe and enhance our potential to access all layers of our self, our minds, and our potential for transcendence from the human condition.

Imagine, if you will, an infinitely powerful radio with a dial of unlimited range. This radio has the capacity to tune into any frequency or range of frequencies from zero to infinity. Presently, the collective human experience functions on a limited spectrum of that infinite band, and the radio of human awareness remains stuck in those frequencies. The same music plays over and over again and will do so for eternity unless the radio is tuned to other ranges.

Those who have fatigued of living by well-established rhythms may become inspired to expand their consciousness and reach for the bands far outside normal human experience. These are our mystics, prophets, saints, artists, free thinkers, spiritual seekers, healers, shamans, those we sometimes call the mentally ill, and a few electricians–individuals whose life practice is to reach for the unknown and access the limitless energy of the universe while on their journey upon planet Earth. Either through healing from near-fatal trauma, an unanticipated journey through severe mental illness, an act of grace, or through conscious preparation, they have found attunement to frequencies well beyond the established spectrum of human experience.

Yet this expansion is not without its challenges. To venture beyond the familiar frequencies requires courage, discipline, and a willingness to be misunderstood. The journey demands that we release our attachment to the known and embrace the discomfort of uncertainty. It asks us to question the inherited narratives that have shaped our perception and to consider that reality may be far vaster and more mysterious than we have been taught to believe. In doing so, we open ourselves to dimensions of experience that transcend the ordinary and touch the edge of the infinite.

Are you ready to dance to the music of the spheres, sirens, and angelic choirs unheard by most of humanity?

If so, then let us first learn how tune our inner ears to the sublime frequencies of those transcendent vibrations.

This marks the beginning of a profound voyage into consciousness. Across psychology, philosophy, and spirituality, there’s a recurring theme that we as humans operate on a limited spectrum of awareness. 

This journey into the full spectrum of human awareness unfolds through three levels of consciousness, which are:

  1. The unconscious stage,
  2. The aware stage, and
  3. The self-aware stage.

Living in the unconscious stage means reacting to life rather than intentionally shaping it. It takes courage to break free from this state. The aware stage marks the beginning of change, where we realize there’s more to life than just surviving—it’s about growth, curiosity, and igniting our potential. In the self-aware stage, we transcend the ego, overcome fear, and break free from the illusions that disconnect us from others, the world, and the universe.  The reader will take a deep dive into these stages at a later time.

Why undertake this epic journey? Not because it’s easy or because someone else expects you to. It is because we are designed for this. Humanity was not made to stand idle on life’s launch pad forever. It is in our very nature to evolve, connect, and awaken.

Each succeeding stage marks progress in development of the three aspects of self:

  1. Mind,
  2. Body, and
  3. Spirit.

Holistic growth requires that we unify the mind, body, and spirit. Intellectual insights must be grounded in the physical, while spiritual wisdom should guide our emotions and behaviors. Meditation and mindfulness practices can quiet the mind, while reflection on psychological patterns helps us integrate past wounds.

We cannot count on an act of grace here.  This evolution isn’t automatic; it demands intentional effort and active participation from the seeker to broaden the spectrum of frequencies through which life can be experienced.

Humanity has the ability to function within three levels of the mind:

  1. The individual mind,
  2. The collective mind, and
  3. The cosmic mind.

These layers are like Russian dolls, where the individual mind is a subset of the collective self, and the collective mind is a subset of the cosmic self. The cosmic self acts as the universal citizen, encompassing its unlimited self along with both the collective and individual. The collective self includes the conditioning of humanity and the individual but not the cosmic, while the individual self exists independently, though it can be heavily influenced by the collective and the cosmic under the right conditions.  The reader will also be receiving in depth training on this topic in the upcoming chapters.

Humanity’s mental states are entirely shaped and informed through three distinct layers of awareness:

  1. Consciousness, as expressed through the common knowledge game (CKG).
  2. Unconsciousness, as expressed through the unconscious common knowledge game (CUKG).
  3. Higher consciousness or supraconsciousness, as expressed through the uncommon knowledge game (UKG).

Why do we characterize these three fundamental mental states as games? The answer lies in understanding that we exist within a reality where our authentic selves have been systematically pushed out of conscious awareness, buried beneath layers of familial programming and cultural conditioning. This conditioning inevitably wounds our innocent nature, causing the true self to retreat into hiding for protection. Ah, but our family and the civilization that supports us has provided each of us a game piece to negotiate their game board, and it is called our ego.  Almost universally, the ego is identified with the constraints and limitations that accompany this profound self-forgetting.

Our lives feel like game pieces carefully placed on the vast board of the universe, surrounded by countless others who have also lost touch with their true selves. The roles we might have naturally embraced are overwritten by scripts imposed and reinforced by society. Each of us carries a role or game to play alongside the rest of humanity, and we remain minimally aware of this participation. We’re led to believe in free will, without realizing that our choices are predominantly shaped by history, genetics, and the social conditions around us, until we awaken.

Those rare individuals who finally discover their authentic self and achieve genuine spiritual connection learn to shed those pillories and navigate this cosmic board with conscious intention and masterful skill. While engaged in this game, we often find ourselves in apparent competition with others, yet ultimately, when we truly find ourselves, the only meaningful competition becomes the one within our own being, as we strive to bring forth the best version of our self. In the grand design, everyone who authentically discovers their true self emerges as a winner. However, until we as humanity collectively rediscover—both individually and as a unified whole—who we are in truth and spirit and learn to recognize each other in our shared spiritual essence, this intricate, often capricious, and increasingly complicated game of existence continues to unfold.

We all participate, whether consciously or unconsciously, in this shared game of human relationships, guided by constant and commonly accepted principles of engagement—until our higher consciousness finally awakens and begins operating through its uncommon knowledge algorithm. Remarkably few individuals dare to approach these profound categories of human experience within consciousness, choosing instead the familiar comfort of standard information received on common or well-traveled frequencies over the uncertain territory of unexplored, uncharted frequencies of awareness.

You guessed it, we will revisit this subject in much greater detail later in the work.

Why would anyone willingly risk the profound discomfort that comes with opening doors that have been locked tight by:

  1. Ego structures and defensive patterns,
  2. Family systems and inherited limitations, or
  3. Society’s collective programming and expectations?

Why seek to transcend the seemingly secure confines of our conditioned minds? The answer, while simple in its essence, carries tremendous transformative power. Through genuine transcendence, we discover the master keys to:

  1. Breaking free from the limiting patterns that have constrained our potential and kept us small,
  2. Finding authentic meaning and purpose within what often appears to be a chaotic and meaningless world, and
  3. Experiencing the boundless joy and liberation that flows from transcendent self-awareness and spiritual awakening.

These profound healing activities and transformative qualities come to define a life, a love, and even a death that is lived fully on the universe’s unlimited bandwidth of infinite energy and boundless experience.

That is precisely where I choose to anchor my existence and direct my consciousness!

How about you? Are you ready to step into this expanded realm of possibility?
